I love using my stamps in ways they weren't intended. There were so many words in the Christmas Stamp Kits from Susan K. Weckesser that I wanted to use them all! But how??? A Word Christmas Tree!!
Super FUN!
I gathered my supplies, stamped all the words on white cardstock and cut them out.
SUPPLIES:
- Susan K. Weckesser/Unity Stamps "Very, Very Merry" Stamp Set
- Susan K. Weckesser/Unity Stamps "World of Christmas" Stamp Set
- Susan K. Weckesser/Unity Stamps "An {Artful} Ornament" Stamp Set
- Susan K. Weckesser "Live In Color" Scrapbook Paper Collection
- Susan K. Weckesser/Crafter's Workshop Stencil
- Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Ink "Evergreen Bough"
- Ranger Stickles "Green"
- Core'dinations Cardstock
- Sizzix "Pinecone" Die
I adhered the words in a triangle shape on white cardstock. I then applied the Evergreen ink to the words and the cardstock.
Next, I diecut branches from the pinecone die and added Stickles to them and the words.
While the Stickles were drying, I cut the cardstock and adhered it to the card base. On the top (red) cardstock I traced the shape of the tree. I used the flower shape on the stencil and with a white pen to draw on the red cardstock. I thought the flowers looked like snow :) Then I fill in some areas with white dots.
The bird is from the "Very, Very Merry" Stamp Set. I thought he was perfect for the top of the tree. I cut him out and colored some parts of him. I added Stickles to make him shine like a star. I cut my branches a little smaller and glued them all over the tree.
I added pearls, to look like garland and ornaments, on the tree last. I put a bow between the tree and the word Peace. The Peace word was the tree holder.
Thanks for visiting! Try having fun with words today!!
